L.S.
For about a week now I've been trying unsuccesfully to solve the problem
below.
My machine was installed with 4.8-Release.
The problem started after compiling and installing a new kernel to =
replace
kernel.GENERIC
What happens is:
The system starts.
Detects the AH2940 SCSI controller.
The controller detects 3 devices.
-SCSI ID#2 CDROM
-SCSI ID#1 IBM 4,3 GB Disk 0x80 (probably recognized later as da1)
-SCSI ID#0 IBM 4,3 GB Disk 0x81 (probably recognized later as da0)
It then starts boot0 and shows the boot0 selection-screen.
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 1
Default: F1
-Choosing F5 results in errors since that one isn't bootable.
-Choosing F1 (in my opinion the correct one) yields the following.
Having choosen something at boot0 the system continues.
At this point it should be able to find /boot.config, but as I'll later =
show
it apparently ignores it.
It then shows the boot2 screen.
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
At this point I've tried entering the following things.
X:da(Y,a)/Z with
-X anywhere between 0 and 5.
-Y anywhere between 0 and 2.
-Z either /kernel or /boot/loader.
The following options allowed a continued boot.
1:da(0,a)/kernel
1:da(1,a)/kernel
1:da(2,a)/kernel
1:da(0,a)/boot/loader
1:da(1,a)/boot/loader
1:da(2,a)/boot/loader
All the others didn't work.
Having discovered the correct input I assumed putting the same into
/boot.config would solve the problem and would ensure I wouldn't have to
fill it in manually every time the system boots
(this is not practial sincec the system neither has a viewscreen or a
keyboard) this however isn't the case. Whatever I fill in into =
/boot.config
the result remains the same. The system tries to boot
tells me twice "Invalid partition' followed by "Can't find /kernel".
I've reinstalled boot0, boot1 and boot2 to no effect. Re=EFnstalling =
FreeBSD
from scratch and making another kernel resulted in the same problem.
My guts tell me the problems lies in boot0 or boot1's apparent =
inabillity to
execute the correct value specified in /boot.config but I can't find any
cause for this.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this problem or where to find
additional documentation since I can't find enough information in the
Handbook to determine whether the problem indeed lies in the system's
inabillity to find /boot.config?
Thanks in advance,
Frank Masolijn
PS. Below anyone interested will find all information I think might be
required. (If somethings missing please mail me.)
